About GO4automation

GO4automation is an engineering office for industrial automation technology based in Jena (Thuringia). Owner Hendrik Götze, graduated engineer (FH) in electrical engineering, has more than 20 years of professional experience in control, drive and measurement technology. The service portfolio includes concept development and planning, PLC programming (TIA Portal, STEP 7, CoDeSys, STEP 5), process visualizations with WinCC, parameterization of frequency converters (SINAMICS, SEW, ABB, Danfoss) as well as electrical measurement, control and regulation technology (E&I) including HART sensor technology, control valves, PID control loops and EX (ATEX) protection. Further focal points are retrofitting of existing automation, networking via PROFINET, PROFIBUS-DP, MODBUS-RTU and PROFISAFE, commissioning and process optimization as well as risk assessments, SIL and WHG (water law) inspections and CE-compliant documentation.Reference projects include the automation of a microwave continuous-flow system for polymer materials and composites in materials research as well as the retrofit of several extruder lines over 200 meters long for rubber profiles.Customers come from process automation, petrochemicals, special machinery construction, infrastructure and conveying technology.
